Hello,
My name is Danielle and around Jan 08 I decided to change my lifestlye to Raw Foods. A few months ago I began feeling extremely tried - about 3 weeks ago I finally went to the doctors and found out that I 3 months pregnant. No we were not planning this. It has been almost 8 1/2years since our daughter was born. But all is good.
Around this time NOTHING raw seems to appeal to me. Being new to this lifestlye I am struggling a bit. But I am determined to succeed. I purchased Alissa's book and I am one foot out the door to go food shopping to restart.
It is my goal to find a balance were I have enegry, peace and a whole lotta patience. I was originally losing weight - of course that has stopped. I have been reading the various postings on the forum of others and there feedback. One question I have is it possible to continue to lose exess weight while achieving a thriving pregnancy? Not to sound vain - but I was hoping to lose weight to feel better - I am heavier on the bottom.

Also - can anyone recommend some recipes for smoothies? Thank you
All advice, guideance and direction is greatly appreicated and welcomed!
Thank you
Danielle

WELCOME....so glad you have Alissa's book on the way. A smoothie I really like is froozen blueberries, banana, spinach, juice from an orange and a little water to keep it moving. I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy.

Welcome! Congrats on your pregnancy. I'm glad you're here. For smoothies I really like: spinach and kale w/ a banana, frozen blueberries and frozen raspberries or strawberries and some water. Best wishes.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! HOW EXCITING!!! A raw pregnancy... very cool! I'm sure you will find Alissa's book filled with wonderful information! Also - check out the before and after pics -- there is one thread there of a RAWBIE... who posted photos of her prior pregnancy eating SAD foods...and her current pregnancy - which is all raw!

Maybe you can email her thru her profile and get some advice there?

also - I believe there is a section for new Mothers, or pregant Mommies, along with how to raise kids on the raw foods LIFEstyle....

I'm so glad you have joined us here at RFT... it's an awesome forum! you'll love it!

RAWk on!!
